I used to hate those millions of Farmville and Mafia war’s feed on my Facebook feed. I blocked them, they got added to the blocked app list. But trust me when you actually start playing these you have hard time surviving without those feeds. Now when I want to enable them i find no option to do it. Facebook changed its interface recently just after the “birthday”. Everytime Facebook changes its look, its like “you better devote some time to find all those misplaced areas”. I did that. I found where the applications can be added to the feed again.

The trick is to move to “Top news” first. The most used “most recent” page doesn’t let you do it.

• Go to Top News link on the top of your feeds.
• Now navigate to the end of the page and find “Edit Options”
• Go to the “applications” tab in the floating box.
• Click on the “add to news feed” button. You are done.

The catch here is that you’d kill yourself from frustration after not finding any such options under the “Most Recent” page. True that you never go to the “Top News” page. But for this you’ll have to go. There is no other way on the present Facebook interface to unhide applications from your news feed.

P.S. You also find blocked pages there.

On the occasion of  My 100th post, I created a Facebook fan page. 24 friends joined it quickly.

Created a new Facebook fan page:  here

Also created a new widget “Fan Box” at Facebook widgets: here

A bit of CSS adjustments aligned it perfectly in place.

UPDATE: We have 51 fans now.

Step1: Go to [Cheatengine] and download the software “Cheat Engine 5.5“

Step2: Now load up Crazy Taxi on Firefox or Internet explorer preferably. Not Chrome because chrome’s each tab is recognized as a separate process in cheat engine and you’d have trouble finding the crazy taxi associated process.

Step3: Install Cheat Engine and run it.

Step4: On the top left corner of cheat engine search for the icon. Click on it and search for Firefox or the browser in which your game is loaded. It usually is located at the end of the big list. Click ok

Step5: Now select the Enable speed hack option at the right side of the console and drag the slider to 50 or higher. click apply.

Step6: With the fowrard arrow key held press start button in Crazy taxi, wait till you have reached a sufficiently high score. leave the forward key and press back key to stop.

Be careful, donot make wierdly high hi-scores. Mindjold might detect this as a cheat easily and ban you for ever. Wierd hi-scores are also not published sometimes. Flaunt some safe 90 thousand and shock your friends. Have fun.
